[quote=”antonio.macrì” post=65874]In termini di licenze, […] chiunque potrebbe scriversi il suo classicthesis.sty.
Anche questo fatto lo trovo abbastanza paradossale. Per assurdo, dunque, si potrebbero avere (forse su CTAN no, ma in Rete sì) più pacchetti, tutti con lo stesso nome, ma diversi? Troppa confusione
Come posso ti trovo il riferimento.[/quote]
Non ti riporto il riferimento preciso perché non c’è :): non c’è nella licenza una clausola che richieda di cambiare nome.
Il motivo è spiegato qui:
Why does the GPL permit users to publish their modified versions?
[…]
Some have proposed alternatives to the GPL that require modified versions to go through the original author. As long as the original author keeps up with the need for maintenance, this may work well in practice, but if the author stops (more or less) to do something else or does not attend to all the users’ needs, this scheme falls down. Aside from the practical problems, this scheme does not allow users to help each other.
Sometimes control over modified versions is proposed as a means of preventing confusion between various versions made by users. In our experience, this confusion is not a major problem. Many versions of Emacs have been made outside the GNU Project, but users can tell them apart. The GPL requires the maker of a version to place his or her name on it, to distinguish it from other versions and to protect the reputations of other maintainers.
Ciao,
